Chapter 153: Quiet house and Chat with Second Zhou

Bai Yi Yang bring them to stop by the stall near the bus stop and she brought two popsicles for the two children. Only then they cheer up again. They sat at the bus stop as they wait for the van to come. Bai Yi Yang look at her phone and now is almost 10.00 am already.

"Feeling better now?" Bai Yi Yang ask her two siblings who is eating the ice cream, they are happy again after eating the sweet.

"En. It's not painful at all." Bai Yi Fang said.

"Really???" Bai Yi Mo don't want to make fun of his sister but he saw how she cried in the room just now.

"En. I am just..scared.." Bai Yi Fang explain.

"Good. If you feel unwell, tell jiejie okay." Bai Yi Yang said. Vaccination have a few side effects such as low grade fever, soreness, headache, loss of appetite, painful and swelling at the injection site. These are common.

"Okay!" They answer cheerfully.

The van arrived at 10.07 am. Bai Yi Yang and her siblings hop into the van. The van fee is very cheap because the distance is near. However, Bai Yi Yang still payed 3 yuan because her two siblings also take up the space. This is her explanation when the van driver wanted to reject.

After getting off the van, Bai Yi Yang noticed that her siblings is getting quiet, they have been a bit drowsy when they are inside the van. So after buying tofu skin and bean sprout from Aunt Mu's store, Bai Yi Yang carried her siblings with both arm. Their weight is nothing to her they are very light compared to tree logs.

TongTong, being a kind hearted cat, jump from Bai Yi Yang bag and walk side by side with Bai Yi Yang through the mountain road. Don't know when, the two siblings is already drowsy. This is why Bai Yi Yang doesn't want to let them ride the bicycle. Bai Yi Yang and the bunch arrived home at 10.45 am.

She changed her siblings clothes and wipe them with water to relieve the low grade fever. Other than that, just let them rest bah. If they rest enough today, they will be well by tomorrow. Bai Yi Yang let them sleep in her bedroom and adjust the temperature, not too cold but not to hot. After that she also take a bath and change her clothes.

Bai Yi Yang is a bit unused to the house being quiet even though the children are in, so she turn on the TV, let it play in low volume, just so that it won't be too quite. It's weird when a usually noisy house becomes this calm.

"Anyone?"

Bai Yi Yang stood up from the sofa and look outside. It is Second Zhou at the gate. She let one side of the gate open so that Cookie and Oreo can walk around the mountain with TongTong just now.

"Second uncle, please come in." Bai Yi Yang call from the Main house.

Second Zhou step in with a book in his hand, he cannot help but look around when he enter Main house. He never enter the Main house before, only the kitchen, so he never thought that inside the Main house, the decorations is this good. The air conditioning is cold, it's a totally different place ah. Seems like, the Bai siblings really have money. Well of course he knows that, their fruits alone can sell in thousands each day, he is not even shocked anymore when he count the account.

Bai Yi Yang invite him to sit at the guest receiving area. Never thought that Second Zhou will be the first guest that they will receive here.

"Wait for a while. I will bring some cold drinks." Bai Yi Yang said when he saw the sweat on Second Zhou's forehead. Other than that, she decreased the temperature before rushing to the kitchen.

"Thank you." Second Zhou received the glass filled with orange juice when Bai Yi Yang returned.

"Eldest yatou, your house is really nice." Second Zhou who has look carefully on the furniture, carpet and other things in the living room cannot help but say this.

"We recently call people to design it, their work is very good. Second uncle, what is the progress of your house?" Bai Yi Yang ask. She knows that Second Zhou has call people to flatten an area behind Old Zhou house to build a house there.

"Quite good. The people whose my father introduced is quite efficient. What more, I listen to your advice, instead of paying them per hour, it is better to pay them based on completion. Their work become much more faster, I think the house can be finished in 3-4 months time." Second Zhou said. It is indeed Bai Yi Yang who suggested this. When they payment is based on the completion rate, the workers will work faster so they will also be payed faster. Since Second Zhou is in a rush, this is the best method.

"How much did they ask?" Bai Yi Yang ask. She knows that simple village house is not very expensive, at most 50,000 yuan. It's not comparable to houses in big cities.

"The estimation is 33,000 yuan. But, I am thinking of adding another room, when my wife give birth, it can become the little one bedroom." Second Zhou said.

Currently, his plan is a 4 bedroom house, but when the baby is born, it will be unfair if only one doesn't own bedroom. The house he is planning is already quite big in the village, but since this will be their own house, there is no problem with paying it for a few years.

"En, how much are they asking for 5 bedroom?" Bai Yi Yang ask.

"38,000 yuan. It's a bit over the budget. I borrowed 35,000 from the bank, including for the furnishings." Second Zhou laugh awkwardly. Since when did they arrived at this topic about his financial difficulty again, it's quite embarrassing.

"Then that's a problem. If you really need it, then I can lend you 10,000 yuan, you can pay me back slowly. Building a house can be once in a lifetime matter, it's better to build a better one at once." Bai Yi Yang said.

"That..that won't be appropriate.." Second Zhou said.

"Not a problem, when you settled down then you can pay me back. Living cost in the village is cheaper, you will be able to pay your loan soon. Think about it first." Bai Yi Yang said. Second Zhou nod.

After that, Second Zhou shows the account for the passed one week to Bai Yi Yang. This is actually just showing and to see if he is doing the job correctly. The job wasn't hard to begin with.

"En, everything is stated here clearly. You can continue with this method." Bai Yi Yang nod. She already checked the daily sales for each day, it is in 5,600 to 5,800 yuan range.

As for last month, it was quite high because of the durian, the daily sales can reach up to 8,200 yuan. Durian is quite an expensive fruit so the gap is huge as compared to this month, last month total earning is not small, it is more than 180,000 yuan. This month, she estimate a total of at least 150,000 yuan. This is an enormous amount for someone who is staying at a village.

"Eldest yatou, thank you for giving me this job. If not, I don't know when can I move my family here." Second Zhou said.

"Second uncle, we are actually helping each other. There is too much work that need to be done and we can't do it on our own. What more, since you start working, my job has become much more easier." Bai Yi Yang said.

"En." Second Zhou nod.

Then they chat lightly about why Bai Yi Yang is home today and the children vaccination and clinic transfer. Bai Yi Yang told remind him that when his family move here, they mustn't forget about it.

"Talking about it, your wife is 7 months pregnant right? Will she give birth at City Xi?" Bai Yi Yang ask.

"Yes. My younger sister-in-law is taking care of her there. But I may still need to take a few days holiday when the time comes." Second Zhou said. Bai Yi Yang nod, only telling him to inform her in advance and let someone oversee the business here.

After chatting for a bit more, Second Zhou leave with his father motorcycle. Bai Yi Yang enter the bedroom once more and check her siblings temperature, it's still a bit warm. Then she check the injection site, it is only a bit reddish and mild swelling.

Bai Yi Yang soaked the dried mushrooms first while she prepare the rice. She cook a small portion for their lunch, together with rice for dinner later.

For lunch, she is making simple stir fry bean sprout with oyster sauce, then braised bean curd skin with mushrooms. That will be their lunch for today.

She finished making the meal by 11.45 am. Bai Yi Yang then returned to the Main house, she let the bedroom door open so when she come inside the living room, she saw that Bai Yi Fang is already awake tossing left and right on the bed.

"Woke up?" Bai Yi Yang ask.

"En.." Bai Yi Fang nod and sat down. She raised up both arms to ask for a hug. Bai Yi Yang smile and come to her, she lifted up Bai Yi Fang and bring her outside to sit at the sofa.

"Feel a bit weak..jie, I don't want vaccine anymore." Bai Yi Fang said.

"Vaccine is good, it can prevent worse illness. Compared to a little pain, the real illness is much more painful." Bai Yi Yang caress Bai Yi Fang hair.

"En..but I don't like it.." Bai Yi Fang said.

"Alright, you won't get vaccine in near future." Bai Yi Yang comfort her. Not long after that, Bai Yi Mo run from the bedroom and look around.

"I thought I am alone in the house." Bai Yi Mo said when he saw Bai Yi Yang and Bai Yi Fang. He lazily come over and slumped on TongTong bed.

"Meow! Meow!" TongTong suddenly come out of nowhere. It is meowing loudly in front of Bai Yi Mo.

"Alright, alright. I will move." Bai Yi Mo helplessly stand up and lie flat on the carpet instead. After he moved from the seat, TongTong didn't even sit on its bed but instead walk out of the living room again. It just know when the bed is occupied by someone. TongTong has done this a few times. Bai Yi Yang laugh at this.

"Let's have lunch, after that, we can take a rest again." Bai Yi Yang said.

"En." The two children agree. They went to the kitchen together and Bai Yi Yang scoop the rice for the three of them and TongTong too. She didn't forget to fill in Oreo and Cookie bowl with food.

After having lunch, Bai Yi Yang wipe her younger siblings body again before all of then went into her bedroom to lie down. Bai Yi Yang close the curtain and turn off the light. Since they are going to sleep, she also close the house's main gate.

"Jiejie bedroom is very comfortable." Bai Yi Mo said. He have been sleeping with Bai Yi Chen with the same kind of bed but Bai Yi Yang bedroom feels much more comfortable and cozy.

"Last night we sleep in my bed, it is comfortable too." Bai Yi Fang said.

"The two of you sounds much better." Bai Yi Yang said. It was very quiet but now the two mischievous kids start becoming active again.

"Let's take a nap, jiejie is a bit tired carrying the two of you going up the mountain." Bai Yi Yang said. The children giggle at this and try to close their eyes, they also ends up sleeping again not long after that.
